Career Services Presentations

Career Services provides presentations to groups on campus including classes, student organizations, residence halls, GSG, etc. We can present to your group on a variety of career- related topics. Presentation and workshop topics are listed below.

New for 2017-2018 - we have created presentations and workshops to best fit within class time frames. Presentations can be done with or without a workshop component.

We will try to accommodate presentation requests between 8am - 5pm Monday - Friday, but availability is limited outside of these hours. Requests should be made at least 2 weeks ahead. (Due to CareerFEST programming, we can only accommodate a limited number of requests during that time, and they will be taken on a first-come first-serve basis.)

Presentations & Workshops Offered:

Career Fair Prep Presentation - 25 minutes

Is there more to career fair then bringing a few copies of my resume? Absolutely. And with a plan, there is a much higher chance of reaching your career fair goals.

Cover letters may be the determining factor in the final decision. The key is quality over quantity. We will discuss strategies to ensure the cover letter shows a clear match between the student and the job/company.

Personal introductions are an introduction into the professional you, but they require practice. Students will practice their introductions, including body language and handshakes to make an excellent first impression.
